Dear TNT Executives, Well, it’s about time!… Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Excellent decision renewing Dark Blue for a second season, although I wonder: where was the hesitation? You know you’re a cable station, right? So, two million strong viewers (or even 1.6) for a new show is an impressive feat. Especially considering the fact […]

This week’s episode of The Middle was a rather simple summation of the promise that this fast-rising young show holds; while the episode was clearly as Frankie sees things, the entire family was at the center of the plot, proving that the characters’ combined strengths are greater than anything each could do on their own. And […]
From beginning to end, last night’s episode of The Office was both near-perfect, and back to the stellar form that I’ve felt has been lacking for most of season six. It showed that it wasn’t the quantity, but rather the quality, of each character’s contribution that really is the show’s strength. If I were Andy, […]
